Thermaltake Core P3

[Fantomex]

Anyone have experience with this case? I have a high end build planned with aesthetics in mind so I'd love to show it off and this would be the perfect case. 

 

My only concern is the dust issue being an open air case. Noise not so much because I wear head phones. Is dust accumulation bad on this case?

I would like to know this as well! The only reason I am considering p5 is not for the size but for the temper glass upgrade option that gives you more panels which should limit dust in the case.

 

P.s. Look up at the pictures on Amazon review and you will see what people put in them. After a closer look you will see the difference between the p3 and p5 and see which one will fit your needs more.

Dust accumulation would be no worse than a typical closed case.  Just keep a can of compressed air on hand and blow the heatsinks out every few months or so, and everything will be just fine.

 

According to reviews, the PCI-E riser cables aren't especially good quality, so you may want to be ready to get a different cable for better graphics performance.  Beyond that, they seem to be well designed and attractive cases.

Thanks guys. I looked at the p5 but I was wanting a slightly smaller form factor. You do know they offer a P3 tempered glass option right? I'll probably do that in the near future. That or have one cut at a hardware store. The main reason I got the p3 was the clear acrylic. If I got glass, I wouldn't want a tint.

Yea I know there is the option for p3. However from what I researched the upgrade just replaces the front panel, unlike the p5 which adds additional ones.

Not sure, but I intend to pay a visit to my friend (Saturday) that I built his PC in the P3 and so far in the P5 I got in progress there isn't to much dust considering that I was in holiday for 3 weeks and left it in the room as it is.

Thanks for all the help. I've ordered one and it'll be here tomorrow. I'll update once I have it setup and running for a little while.
